Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh peaches
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 discs Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for crust topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and slice the peaches into 1/4-inch wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the peaches. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
Roll out one disc of pie crust on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the crust to the pie dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Roll out the second disc of pie crust and place it over the filling. You can lay it whole or create a lattice pattern for a decorative touch. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top crust.
Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top for added sweetness and crunch.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the filling set.
Serve slices of Georgia Peach Pie on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
